I just loved this book. I mean, I really loved it. And I HATE autobiographies. Alan Alda’s destroyed my crush on him, Loretta Lynn’s was disappointing. Wil Wheaton’s was hilarious, heartbreaking, and wonderful. As I said on Facebook earlier today: “I’ve got a new destination for my ‘If I Had A TARDIS’ itinerary: I would totally go back to 2001 and give Wil Wheaton a hug.”

Admittedly, a lot of this book was Wil dealing with his feelings in the aftermath of leaving Star Trek, and I have never been a Trekkie. Actually, I have never even watched one full episode of Star Trek. Even with that disconnect, this book was so well written that I could totally understand and empathize with his struggles and rejoice in his victories.

The best part of the book is that Wil Wheaton really is Just A Geek, and those are the kind of people I like best! Wil says that he relates better to the fans of Star Trek than the other actors, and I felt like that was absolutely true. I look forward to getting to know him better by continuing to read his blog and reading some of his other books!
